Endless Recorder Memo & Notebooks Reviews

Lovely notebook, excellent paper.

This is a great notebook for getting Tomoe River Paper. Nice sturdy cover and just the best paper ever made.

I don’t know why I waited so long to try these notebooks, this has all the features I’ve been looking for in a simple fountain pen friendly journal: hard-covered so it will survive in bags, elastic closure that isn’t a terrible orange color :p Tomoe River paper that isn’t yellow-cream, not too many fields or features on the page I won’t use, and not $50 like I’ve seen on some TRP notebooks. I bought one as a work bullet journal and one as a traditional lined journal and love them both.

I gave this as a gift to someone who complains about pens not working on certain paper. He loves it! Well-made and attractive.

This is a top notebook - I've finiahed one red one, bought 2 brown ones and now this blue covered one - I especially like the Pen Chalet version with the textured brown cover which feels satisfyingly tactile. I also like how there are free downloads for templates to place beneath my blank page. One minor issue is that cover of the book began to bow slightly outward after I'd been using it for a few months, and had to be stored between two heavy books to flatten it again.

I am pleasantly surprised by this journal. The tactile feel of the cover makes it easy to hold and carry, it’s almost an intimate feeling to hold. I have the dot journal and the paper is terrific. I use mostly broad nib pens and I can use both sides of a page without concern about ghosting. My last hardcover journal was Leuchtturm 1917, but I honestly prefer this one. The pages are ever so slightly off white so I get a truer representation of ink color- I rarely use black ink so this is very important to me. I had also just spent way too much on a Faber-Castell journal (somewhere else) that feathered terribly and was not returnable. So here it is, a terrific journal for a decent price! The only thing I would change is to package the journal with the ribbon bookmark outside of the journal. It is shrink wrapped tightly and several pages were affected with a crease from it.

I really love these books and have bought several of these, they have the slightly heavier Tomoe River paper and it just provides a lot of enjoyment. Whether you’re in to shading, sheening or just normal writing this is a great note book.
